Entrance Procedure
In order to enter the contest, users had to publish their entry as a model using ROBLOX Studio. Then, the user had to post a link to their model in the Homestead Contest Thread, which was in the Creations Forum.[2] The model needed to have a brief description.[2]
Judging Criteria
Points were awarded to entries on the basis of creativity, construction, attention to detail and attention to scale.[1] The purpose of the contest was to provide new players with cool furniture for their house.
Bonus points
The first user to post a decent description in the Homestead Contest Thread would get bonus points in the judging.[1]
Winners and Rewards
When I started this contest I really was planning to pick just one grand prize winner. I was not anticipating the submission of so many high-quality models. You guys have saved me a lot of time creating all this furniture from scratch, so it seems like the only fair thing to do is to give a customized character to everyone who submitted a model that we actually used.
